Atmosphere is the alpha and omega

Rick Burroughs's first book is equal to a video game adaptation. I do not have XBox and Alan Wake could never play, but wanted the story to know. I'm pretty easy to scare with horror, but Alan Wake was never really creepy. The best part of the book is the beginning, when the setting of a small town is presented somewhere in the nowhere. Thereafter, when the horror begins until the density of the atmosphere decreases and unfortunately packs a not as much as you want it.
